OneNewsNow reports: “Sex-selection and racially-motivated abortion is an immense problem in America and internationally,” the attorney explains, “and Congressman Franks’ bill would prohibit the performance of such abortions, the funding of them, or promoting them.”

Intellectual Conservative: “No one should be allowed to decide that an innocent life is worthless, least of all because a child isn’t of the preferred sex or race. Planned Parenthood’s founder, Margaret Sanger, may have approved of such barbarities, but we believe most Americans don’t. There is nothing constitutionally protected or medically necessary about an abortion that takes place because a child is not the preferred sex or race. And there is nothing in the law or the Constitution that prohibits America from joining other civilized nations in prohibiting such barbaric procedures.” –Steve Aden, Senior Counsel, Alliance Defense Fund
